Under 19" nothing comes up other than Asanti, for $4k+ per set... no big deal since expensive wheels have never been difficult to find.

The 18" matches don't seem to show any possibilities that are any larger than our V wheels... i many cases they are more narrow.

I guess I wouldn't see the point in switching if you can't get anything larger in diameter or width... or both.

I talked to someone from this website and he says the bzo elite wheel will fit for sure. i called bzo to comfirm, and he said the same thing. this doesnt seem right, all of these wheels cant work, everyone says theres a very limited selection for the v's

Did you ask him what the bolt pattern is? He may be looking up "just" a CTS not realizing they are different.

Well..... Maybe there is a limited supply of good looking wheels for the v that people would actually pay money to put them on their car. Other then the asantis I think ever single wheel in the website would be hideous on a v. Plus I'm sure the quality is horrible. There is a reason her, asanti and ccws are expensive. But u get what u pay for. I really hope u don't put any of those wheels on a v.

everyone has different opinions on wheels, but it seems there are more out there than everyone may know.

yeah I used to try and look for aftermarket wheels and found some decent options but Dont trust those website's they are wrong and they are trying to sell you SUV rims

CCW is the way to go. I reccomend lowering it first and that will make your wheels look much bigger and there are many powdercoating colors if you want a custom look and it is tons cheaper



Observe Seattle Bums car on the dyno and tell me if they look small

here are just some options for powdercoating
and these arent even lowered










or powdercoat the acessory
